I'd like to think it might have been a child burying their stuff, hope it's not the remains from the pocket and clothing of someone who came to a sticky end, but hope it is just the start of something more.

Great story and nice finds

4 silver hammered coins - and still searching for more Not everything is as young as it looks

Quick update on the hoard. Went back to the site about a week later and found a small, lead, phallic pendant about 6 feet away. All items are safely with the flo and he has put a tentative date on them as 2nd century, probably Hadrian era.
Went back there today with him to do a small dig but had no luck finding anything else. All items are off to British museum next week. Cheers

Thats a very interesting location and the finds are superb,i dont reckon its a purse loss or anything like that,but of course i could be wrong,but what is exciting is finding that key,of course it could be not related but when you have found these coins and the key and other items,then i still reckon it comes under more of a hoard related fine than a purse or casual loss.
